00:07 Well I think because they are personalities, they have a profile,
00:12 it's part of the much broader global agenda of closing the gender pay gap.

00:39 I'm hugely proud because if you have a platform you should use it for global good.
00:45 I think the lionesses are doing just that.
00:48 I think it's the conversation that you have because global eyes are on Australia and New Zealand

01:08 Why waste that opportunity? It is. It is played on every continent.
01:14 The English Premier League, the Women's Soccer League in the UK,

01:24 It's a great soft power asset. More people watch British football than any other nation's football.
01:31 So for us, they are amazing brand ambassadors entering every home,
01:36 whether through the radio or on the web or on mobile phones or on the TV.
